I’m Katharine Deeb (she/her), a birthworker since 2009, newly relocated to Jacksonville from Los Angeles. I look forward to now working with families in Duval, St. John’s and surrounding counties! Birth is the most intimate, personal experience a person can go through, and no two births are exactly alike. My primary role is to inform and educate you to make the best choices for yourself and your family. I have extensive experience in home, hospital + birth center births, TOLACs/VBACs, high risk pregnancy, unplanned surgical births, unmedicated hospital births, water-births, scheduled cesarean births, medicalized births, epidural births and inductions. I am passionate about your informed consent, your rights as a birthing person, and protecting your sacred birth space. My hope for you and your family is a positive, powerful birth experience and a smooth transition into parenting, and that’s what I strive to help you to accomplish. I would be truly honored to be a part of your journey.

I offer virtual doula services including consultations, education and labor support regardless of where you are in in the world or what stage you are in your pregnancy. I support ALL birth choices and all family structures. I attend births in hospitals, birth centers and homebirth. I support medicated, unmedicated and surgical birth options. Please contact me with any questions, for information regarding fees and offerings, or see my website for more information.
